...Unproved Charges In addition to magnifying the minuscule, Lasky reports as undisputable fact many old charges that have never been proved: that Johnson stole a Senate primary ejection in Texas in 1948; that J.F.K. defeated Nixon in 1960 only because votes were stolen with his approval in Illinois and Texas; that Harry Truman won a 1934 Senate primary election in Missouri on votes fraudulently delivered by the Prendergast machine...
...with 27 murders to his credit, was relocated in San Francisco as Joseph Bently; shortly afterward, local authorities arrested him-for murder. Louis Bombacino, a Chicago hoodlum, was given a floor-sweeping job at the Arizona Public Service Co. in Tempe.

Triumphantly holding aloft a second-base bag just torn from the San Diego Stadium ground by his exultant teammates, Left Fielder Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals last week celebrated the breaking of one of baseball's most enduring records.

He then falls in with Tina (Susan Saint James), who has learned most of the music business's sharper angles as an underpaid back-up singer...
...Japanese monastery and now lives in America. His new book draws on his knowledge of Japan. In outline the plot is very conventional. The commissaris and his two assistants, Adjutant Grijpstra and Sergeant De Gier, are required to search out and destroy a Japanese connection that supplies drugs and stolen art to Amsterdam. The villains are the yakusa, Japan's Mafia, who of course have their own extralegal culture with its warriors, taboos, codes and pretty girls...
